Sunny warm days have the trails melting out quickly. This week crews cleared the Munger Trails and cleaned drainage features. The state land trails are dry and the lower Munger trails on the USFS are mostly passable with a few lingering snow drifts. We also cleared Hagen, Putt Putt, Game, Beaver Ponds, lower Wilson, Josies, […]
The winter wildlife closures have lifted and the trails are melting out. You can explore up Game Creek and Putt Putt with only a few snowy spots left. The trails below Sink or Swim between Josie’s Ridge and Snow King are dry too but the Hagen side is still holding snow in the north facing […]
Trails are starting to melt out and with a 60 degree Saturday coming up it seemed like a good time to start trail reports for the season. The usual things are dry, the first part of Putt Putt and Sidewalk, the S 89 Singletrack and the Game Creek Connector. Sadly A&W is not open this […]
Ill start with a ChrisP quote “You can be certain each year that all of the frontcountry trails will be snow free by July 4th” We made it and got everything clear including the Skyline trail which opened up on July 1. Its a sprint from late April til now to hike and bike the […]
Teton Pass trails are almost snow free with some drifts remaining on the highest ridges and shaded north facing slopes. We cleared up Phillip’s Canyon to the Arrow trail and up to Snotel, and then down the Ridge trail. There were just a few patches of snow left on Arrow. You can access everything from […]
The Teton Pass trails were eerily quite today with no cars up there, its a unique experience to get out and explore. Crews cleared up Crater, the Phillip’s Connector, Arrow to Snotel, and over to the Ridge trail and back down. We also hit History, Ferrins, and Game Creek as some new trees fell with […]
The trail in the Cache-Game system are all open and clear with the exception of the Skyline trail which opens on July 1. The Munger Mountain system is in great shape too and beautiful this time of year with the aspen trees budding. Teton Pass is slowly opening up and most trails are snow free […]
This week crews cleared Game, West Game, upper Wilson Canyon, Crater, History, and Big Rocks. Snow is melting fast and only a few drifts are lingering on the steep north facing spots on the Cache-Game system. Teton Pass is opening up as well with most trails being snow free up to 7000 feet or so […]
The snow and rain have slowed trails melting out but there is dry-ish dirt out there to be found. The lower trails on Snow King below Sink or Swim are all in pretty good shape as is Putt Putt. The upper part of Hagen and Ferrins have a few lingering snow spots, and so do […]
N The snow this week didn’t do us any favors drying out the trails. A few more things are opening up and passable but there is still some lingering packed snow and drifts in the shade. As you get excited for summer come by the Bike Swap this Saturday at The Hub Bicycles from […]
Wow mid May and the Cache/Game trails are snow free! Some heavy wind on Wednesday brought down some new trees on the trails. Crews re-cleared Putt Putt, Hagen, Ferrins, Sink or Swim, and the River trails. We also got to Tusky Ridge at Munger and the beginning of Arrow and all of the Ridge trail, 77 trees total this week! The Munger trails are in good shape and are so green right now, especially the meadows on the state land. If you are out there this weekend explore downhill to the north on either the Poison Creek or Tusky Ridge connectors and check out the trails there. Teton Pass is also melting quickly and we only saw a few snow drifts left today on the Ridge trail. Next week we will push up Ski Lake and upper History and see about clearing down Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon. If you see any new trees down from the recent storms let us know and have a fun weekend out on the trails!

While we boast 70+ miles of pathways in Teton County, many neighborhoods remain disconnected from the pathway network.
A prime example is the neighborhood on Andersen Lane (next to Calico) in Wilson. There are more than 30 elementary school age kids in this neighborhood alone who cannot access the pathway due to the nonstop flow of high speed traffic on HWY 390.
Luckily, there is a request for $200,000 in the Pathways 2027 budget for initial planning and design for the WY390 Eastside Pathway Project. This project would put a pathway on the east side of 390 and could potentially include a pedestrian underpass (The FY27 budget starts July 1).
The Board of County Commissioners will be discussing the Pathways budget on Monday, May 18.
Public comment will be taken.
Please show up and remind @tetoncounty about the importance of having Every Neighborhood Connected to the pathway network.

The Cache/Game trails are almost totally dry with the last bit of snow lingering on the Ferrins and Cache/Game saddles and on the ski runs. Munger is also in great shape with only some snow on the upper ridge of the Big Munger trail. Teton Pass trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet in elevation. Crews this week cleared, Crater, lower History, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, lower Phillip’s Ridge, Josies, Kellys, Lindas, and Wilson Canyon. We will be helping on some other projects next week and then back to the upper parts of Teton Pass as the snow melts back. Trails of the week is the new Trail Creek Connector and OPR Loops, they make a fun lollypop loop from the bottom of Trail Creek road with lots of options in the 5 OPR Loops, and great views of the Sleeping Indian on the Trail Creek Connector. Have fun out there and enjoy the sunshine!

Getting Wilson Elementary properly equipped for iWalkiBikeiBus day tomorrow. A pathway came very close to Wilson School, but actually delivered kids to HHR Ranch Road, which has vehicles turning from and on to HWY 22, making for a less than ideal situation for kids on bikes. So we worked with the school, busted down the fence, laid some gravel down, and voila - a safer situation. Swipe on for the iWalkiBikeiBus Schedule.
May is Bike Month in Jackson, Wyoming! Our mayor even said so.
